At our bilingual primary school in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, your child embarks on an exciting educational journey in both German and English. Our immersive language environment encourages natural bilingual development while fostering strong communication skills and a deep intercultural understanding. At the same time, we cultivate a warm, family-like community where children feel supported and inspired to learn and grow.
Through our well-established immersion concept, children learn German and English naturally and simultaneously. We use proven teaching methods that not only enhance language acquisition but also foster intercultural competence and broaden perspectives. Our goal is to nurture curious, confident, and adaptable young learners who feel at home in different languages and cultures."
Through the immersion method, your child experiences a full "language immersion"—not only through traditional lessons, but by naturally and playfully absorbing the second language. In different subjects, children intuitively develop language skills with joy, guided by native-speaking teachers and educators as linguistic role models.
Learning at our school is hands-on, creative, and collaborative. Project-based learning strengthens team spirit, fosters creativity, and brings knowledge to life—whether through extracurricular excursions or interactive group activities. This approach turns learning into an adventure while boosting self-confidence.
We go beyond academics by nurturing intellect, creativity, and social skills. Whether writing stories, exploring poetry, making music, or engaging with literature from diverse cultures, children develop self-expression and confidence. Presentations and student-led projects empower them to think independently and grow into well-rounded individuals.
Phorms is a school that fits your family’s schedule. Our campus provides a structured yet flexible daily routine, open from 7:00 to 18:00 (with after-school care certification). This extended care ensures a seamless balance between learning, play, and social interaction in a warm, community-focused environment.
Beyond academic knowledge, we equip your child with essential life skills—teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. Group work, presentations, and lively discussions create a strong foundation for future challenges, helping children become confident, adaptable individuals.
With two dedicated teaching professionals per class, we ensure high-quality education and personalised support. Smaller class sizes allow for more focused attention, helping your child thrive academically and socially.

No, English proficiency is not a requirement for entry. At this early age, children quickly develop their English language skills. However, in this case, your child must have age-appropriate proficiency in German.
Registration is quick and easy—simply complete the online form on our website in just 5 minutes. Once we’ve received the necessary supporting documents and confirmed space availability, the admission process begins, tailored slightly to the specific class level.
Newcomers and late registrations are welcome, if places are available and the admission criteria are met. Please contact us for further information.
Our primary school offers flexible after-school care from 7:30 to 18:00. In addition to the primary school contract, parents sign a supplementary care contract and apply for an after-school care voucher from the youth welfare office.
The cost contribution is income-based and depends on the scope of care and the number of children. For Years 1 to 3, after-school care is free, while from Year 4 onwards, a contribution applies. For more details on after-school care regulations in Brandenburg, please contact your local authority.
No, attendance at Phorms Reception is not required. While we reserve primary school places for all Phorms preschoolers reaching school age, they must still complete the primary school admission process.
Approximately one-third of our Year 1 places are filled by Phorms children, while the remaining two-thirds are allocated to external applicants.
Do you have questions about our kindergarten, school or the registration process? We will be delighted to assist you with any queries.
